Tangy Cole & Radish Slaw
I’ve been making this slaw throughout summer and although it goes great with burgers and grilled foods, it makes a very robust and refreshing side to accompany almost any dish. Anil’s not a very big fan of cole slaw and I think that he even liked eating this. Even though summer is almost over, I’ll [...]
Tomato-Basil-Mozzarella Skewers
I love killing two birds with one stone. And no, this dish actually isn’t about two chickens that I killed for supper. Last month, when preparing for Anil’s birthday celebration, I decided to lay out some heavy snacks while waiting for the pizza, which was dinner for Anil’s party. I needed something to “pretty up” [...]
Rustic Bruschetta
If you’re looking for an easy snack or light meal, rustic bruschetta is great because there’s no measuring required to make this traditional appetizer taste good! Here’s what I like to whip as a light dinner or lunch when I’m too tired to cook: Take a loaf of French or Italian bread and cut it [...]
Indian Style Spinach & Quorn
You may have seen Quorn mentioned in the health nut food fave entry for May. Quorn is an excellent soy-free meat substitute that I recently started using to add some protein to our vegetarian dishes. For this recipe, adjust the spinach or the number of Quorn naked chik’n cutlets according to the ratio of veggies [...]
Olive Oil & Herbes de Provence Pita Pizza
I love pita pizzas! Pocket-less pita bread makes a perfect pizza crust and allows you to create personal pizza with just about any topping you like. I recently experimented with a light olive oil base to create a nice and light pizza to go along with a wonderful glass of French wine. Here’s what I [...]
Fresh Strawberry Margarita
Summer is right around the corner…and you know what that means: margaritas by the pool! Although I love margaritas, I’m not a big fan of pre-made mixes since they tend to be high in sugar or high fructose corn syrup and add a ton of calories to your drink. Because of this, I decided to [...]
Spicy Singapore Noodles
Singapore noodles are traditionally made with shrimp, eggs and chicken in it. I decided to make mine vegetarian by adding some fried tofu instead. If you decide to go the traditional route, you simply need to saute some strips of boneless, skinless chicken breast and shell-less, deveined shrimp, keeping in mind that the shrimp will [...]
Turkey Wrapped Asparagus
If you’re looking for a quick side-dish, look no further than these turkey-wrapped asparagus. What I love about asparagus is that they taste great and are also an excellent source of folic acid, and vitamins A, B, and C. They are super easy to prepare as well, so definitely give these a try, even on [...]
Tandoori Chicken Salad
If you’re looking for a light, but spicy dinner, this salad should satisfy your palate. It’s got plenty of veggies and the tandoori chicken gives this dish an Indian flare. Tandoori spice mix (or “masala”) can be found primarily at Indian grocery stores, although many regular grocers are starting to carry it as well. Our [...]
Weekday BBQ Turkey & Gouda Panini
My husband, Anil, came up with this fantastic recipe that’s super simple to make and is great for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Toss a salad or serve with some chips to make this into a light, but satisfying meal. Leave out the turkey and add more cheese (or different kinds of cheese) to serve this [...]
